MotorVero experts conducted an intensive weeklong test of four mid-size pickup trucks: the 2024 Honda Ridgeline, 2024 Ford Ranger, 2024 GMC Canyon, and 2024 Jeep Gladiator. Our rigorous testing evaluated performance, cargo capabilities, comfort, and overall value.

Why the Honda Ridgeline Emerged as the Best Mid-Size Truck

• Cargo Space: A bed free of wheel well obstructions and an innovative lockable, drainable storage compartment.
• Ride Comfort: SUV-like handling with a smooth suspension, ideal for daily driving.
• Value for Money: The fully loaded Ridgeline RTL-E was the most affordable high-end trim among the competitors.
• Fuel Efficiency & Performance: Strong acceleration and braking test results with balanced fuel economy.

While the Ridgeline excelled in multiple categories, its outdated multimedia system was a minor drawback. However, this did not prevent it from securing the top spot in our comprehensive review.

Ford Ranger: A powerful turbocharged engine and off-road prowess, but a stiff ride and higher price impacted its ranking.

GMC Canyon: A solid all-around truck with strong towing capacity, but interior refinement fell short.

Jeep Gladiator: Impressive off-road capabilities but lacked comfort and cargo versatility.
